Christmas Countdown

Thanksgiving came and went and now the countdown to Christmas is on all over the world! They've put up decorations in the streets here in Cangas, and this weekend I will be heading to Madrid and Toledo to see the sights--and, hopefully, the Christmas lights! Tuesday is a holiday here for Constitution day, so I'm going to do like the Spanish and "hacer puente," or build a bridge, to make a long weekend. And to get in the Spanish holiday spirit, I've purchased my first Christmas lottery ticket. Wish me luck!
